Cosmic Multicultural Bucharest in the Pandemic (128):
The Lion Horse
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe (astro-photo-poem) and Florin Alexandru Stancu (design)
On January 16, 2022
I photographed the constellation Leo.
Then I thought that in Romanian astromythology
the same constellation it is not called the Lion,
but the Horse.
So a few days later
I wanted to see a horse
in the Capital City of Romania.
In the end,
I found a horse in the university square,
its rider being even Mihai Viteazul (Michael the Brave),
none other than the first unifier
of the Romanian countries in 1599-1600.
However, I wonder if Mihai the Brave
knew that he was actually
riding a lion.
